"Succession" arrived at its complicated, backstabby conclusion on Sunday, with Tom Wambsgans atop the GoJo-acquired Waystar Royco rubble, eager to eat platefuls of Lukas Matsson's bad press for a ludicrously lucrative living. And while Jesse Armstrong's decision to end the HBO hit on a high after just four seasons stings like a stitch-opening hug, the creator offered a balm back in February, hinting at the slightest possibility of a "Succession" spinoff.

"I have caveated the end of the show, when I've talked to some of my collaborators," the three-time (and counting?) Emmy winner told The New Yorker, "like: Maybe there's another part of this world we could come back to, if there was an appetite? Maybe there's something else that could be done, that harnessed what's been good about the way we've worked on this."

Although HBO content CEO Casey Bloys and drama head Francesca Orsi took turns pouring lemon LaCroix all over the dream of a "Disgusting Brothers" spinoff during season four ("[A]t this stage, there is no intention of spinning any one character off," Orsi told Deadline days before the finale; "It doesn't seem like a natural thing to me," her boss told Variety in February), they both dropped the "never say never" line. And Bloys, who oversaw the creation of "Game of Thrones" spinoff "House of the Dragon," suggested an expansion of the Waystar-verse would be up to the show's creator: "if [Armstrong] said I want to do this, then I would follow Jesse's lead."

Far be it from me to tell the man who penned, "Lip-balm Tom Wamb, lubing up his lips to kiss my butt," what to write next, but if Armstrong's looking for inspiration, here are eight "Succession" spinoff ideas we'd love to see.
